More than 5 players

[UnknownMaster21]

Hello! I am brand new forum member and I have been Dungeon Keeper fan from 1997... yes! very long time ehh


I am interested about is there possible to make kind of solution, that there could be even more than just 5 players? Would be cool for 3 vs 3 and would make kind of difference!

I'm sure this was posted on the old forum somewhere. you can make maps with 6 players but I'm sure it just crashes as soon as the game starts.

well i just went on the editor and you can actually have as may players on the map as you want (i went up to 30 before i got bored )

just tested the map and as soon as the game starts it crashes the 6'th player was black though bet it would look really cool though

Thanks! I am just finding somekind of solution for this

I doubt the game engine was designed to handle more than 5 keepers.

It'd probably require quite a bit of modding to get the game to work with more than 5 keepers.

The game can handle as many heart as you wish, if you will find a way how to put colored models in the resources.


The crash occurs when the game tries to load objects like @6 color player wall", doesn't find it and errors. If you put all the necessary items in the resources, I'm 85% confident it will load.

So there might be 2 reasons, the game doesn't find the required tiles/objects, of there is some kind of limitation in the scripts, which i highly doubt.

wish i knew how to do this otherwise i would, it would be cool to have massive keeper battles

well emperorjay said the 6th colour was black so there are resources.
or are there just some in black?

[emperorjay]

yup the 6th keeper is black look dont know about all the resources and stuff because i dont mod or anything like that

And 7th is white (like heroes), but then it ends there because the other Keepers are also black. I guess it was planned by Bullfrog to have 8 Keepers max, but they only allowed 5.

Black could also just mean there's no color assigned to it at all. That is probably at least why all post-7 Keeper numbers are colored black.
